The platform is said to be beta testing the AI labels with the iOS users with a TestFlight version, as claimed by tipster WaBetaInfo. This is all based on how the Channels admins keep a track of media that has been edited or even fully created using AI. Just like Instagram, the Channel admins on WhatsApp will get the option in their settings and it has been designed in a way that you cannot remove it.
Media files with these labels will be visible to everyone viewing the photos, videos and even the cover images if they are added. Watermarks or labels of AI content have been necessary and with so much content being manipulated using these tools it has become hard to differentiate between the synthetic and the real content.

Some countries have even made it a legal rule for Channel admins to disclose AI content. The last thing you need is WhatsApp Channels spreading misinformation using hard-to-detect content.
The iOS beta tests are likely to be followed with Android users getting the label option. The platform is probably trying out the labels with users in select regions where the legal mandate has been issued.
Meta AI is core part of the WhatsApp AI evolution, and one of the other feature being tested is Scam Alert. The AI-powered tool locally downloads a model that is entrusted with scanning through messages that can possibly be a scam. WhatsApp assures none of your chats are readable and it uses pre-trained data to make it work.
